LISA MARIE PRESLEY has blasted rumours her teenage son is set to follow in ELVIS' footsteps by recording an album.

The King's 17-year-old grandson Ben was reported to have signed a USD 5 million (GBP 3.3 million) record deal with Universal Music to release up to five discs, and was quoted as saying he doesn't want his tracks to be compared to his legendary grandfather.

But a spokesperson for Lisa Marie tells GossipCop.com there is no truth to the reports, insisting the record deal is 'completely made up' and that Ben won't be heading into the studio because he is 'a student right now'.
